title: Malignant lymphoma presenting as a chronic subdural hematoma.
abstract: A 56-year-old man had a right frontotemporoparietal craniotomy for evacuation of an encapsulated subdural hematoma that had reaccumulated after burr-hole decompression 6 weeks before. Histopathologic examination showed a malignant lymphoma in the subdural hematoma. Our patient shows that malignant lymphoma can rarely present as a chronic subdural hematoma.
